Default hood latch weight

Anyone know the weight of all the hardware on the nose of a trans am? I'm going to get a fiberglass ws6 hood shortly and i'll probably remove the latch and everything and do pins up front. Just curious as to how much weight savings there is.

Thumbs up

Get rid of the latch and water reservior and maybe save 5 or 6 pounds. A few people do this. Cheers...................
